        Flooding foreign economies with cheap subventioned goods so the domestic can’t compete and go out of business and thus increasing dependency in you.
        Yes, I’d say this is bad.

          China isn’t forcing anybody to buy their goods at gunpoint last I checked. The fact that western markets are unable to produce comparable goods at the same prices is entirely the problem with the way western economies are structured. The whole premise for loosely regulated markets was that they were supposed to be more efficient than state planning, turns out that was a big fat lie. So now the dumb fucks in the west are crying that their failed economic model can’t compete with China. Tough!

        Between an exchange of goods and services and flooding it by subventiontioning to suppress the competition is teensy tiny difference, no?

          This is called a “skill issue” on the hand of western imperialists that can’t compete. Stop framing doing better as being evil.

            Are they even trying to compete considering how many places were happy/eager to send manufacturing overseas in the name of lowering labor costs?

              Explain how it’s evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders’ margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn’t China being malicious, that’s the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.

              Evil is the invisible hand of the market fisting the ass of your country, who send their production to a foreign country, and then start crying because they get better after decades of doing what guys should have being doing all along.

              Yeah but you’re not just looking. You’re running your mouth. People tend to ask for clarifications.
